Unable to return to the graphical mode

Post by PartOfScript »

Hello everyone! I've tested Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela Cinnamon in LiveUSB mode and I've entered a console (Ctrl-Alt-F1). After entering a console I was unable to return to the graphical mode: when I tried to do it pressing Alt-F7, I had seen a black screen with some system messages in it.

Try <Alt><F8>. On a lot of machines the GUI is running on tty8. :wink:
